Despite the obvious and grave threat of an open-borders immigration policy, it still has its defenders. Nonetheless:
The most senior British military officer in the coalition against Isis has warned that violent jihad is far from over and threats of attacks remain potent in the region and beyond it to the west, including Britain.
Every Western country faces the same threat, especially those with open borders. Canada’s Justin Trudeau even made the case that “ISIS fighters could be a powerful voice for Canada.”
Major General Gedney reiterated the jihad threat from jihadis returning to their home countries in the West:
“We don’t know the exact number from here; some who were UK citizens are no longer so because their citizenship has been revoked,” he said. “But they are present and it is obviously a problem. It is not for me to say how we deal with them, but we do need to deal with them, otherwise they would be after us again and try to carry out terrorist attacks.”
“Isis threat to UK remains despite terror group’s demise in Middle East, warns commander,” by Kim Sengupta, Independent, September 12, 2018:
…However Major General Felix Gedney, the deputy commander of the American led “Inherent Resolve” mission, cautioned that the fall of the two remaining strongholds will not mean that the danger of Islamist terrorism is over.“We have caused huge damage to the leadership of Daesh [Isis] and we have crushed much of it. But we have not destroyed Daesh totally and the terrorist threat remains in Syria, Iraq and our country,” he said. “We need to remain committed to ensure that this organisation, an evil organisation, does not continue to inflict bloodshed and suffering.”
Maj Gen Gedney acknowledged that despite experiencing losses, the whereabouts of some of the Isis hierarchy, including the head, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, remains unclear. “Baghdadi remains very important, he popped up a little while ago, we don’t know where he is at the moment,” he said. “Daesh is changing and adapting, it is becoming more of an insurgency, carrying out terrorist attacks, bombings, and we can expect this to continue.”
He acknowledged that foreign fighters seeking to return to the West, including the UK, continue to pose a grave danger. Hundreds remain in Syria and Iraq, said Maj Gen Gedney, the numbers of British citizens among them remain unclear.
“We don’t know the exact number from here; some who were UK citizens are no longer so because their citizenship has been revoked,” he said. “But they are present and it is obviously a problem. It is not for me to say how we deal with them, but we do need to deal with them, otherwise they would be after us again and try to carry out terrorist attacks.”…
The international forces had been criticised for allowing the evacuation of Islamist fighters, including foreign jihadis, after the fall of Raqqa, the “capital” of the so-called Islamic State.
But Maj Gen Gedney maintained: “The tribal elders at the time made a strong pitch for the Arab population to be able leave and the UN was asking for a humanitarian effort. We had to go along with it. Many of those who left were civilians, but yes there were some fighters among them. We subsequently killed or captured many of them, some of them are now wallowing in [penal] institutions in northern Syria.”

Of course these people are a danger that’s common sense, yet the left seems devoid of common sense with their continued call for open borders and more invasion by illegal aliens.

It is nothing short of an invasion. And the idiot that started it is a terrorist as well as a traitor. If anything happens I hope he has front row seats.
Tom says
“He acknowledged that foreign fighters seeking to return to the West, including the UK, continue to pose a grave danger” Well DUH !!!
Of course they remain a grave and imminent danger to any non believers in any country to which they return. But, in the eyes of idiots like Justin Trudeau they are simply Canadians of the finest order who have been adventure travelling, you know like kayaking, or bicycling, or hiking, in foreign lands.
“Anyone who puts the human rights of terrorists before the right to life of our children has no place in power.” Katie Hopkins.“
Justin Trudeau and his terrorist loving Liberal government HAVE TO GO !!! Any Canadian who votes for the Liberals in 2019 is a subversive, covertly supporting Islamic terrorism, and should be ostracized by their fellow Canadians.
J D S says
It’s a known fact that returning jihadist terrorist impose a “CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER”…but those who have a responsibility for protecting us from THAT DANGER are also a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER… to us…simply because of the leftist socialist demeanour they portray especially in the democrats who were elected by people who are either uninformed or just plain dumb.
If I were a democrat and had voted for some of those in congress that have shown their butts when it comes to patriotism concerning the migrant situation and our security, I would be on their doorsteps every day trying to pound some sense into them or trying to get them recalled
Guy Forester says
Let us not forget those with ulterior motives that joined the military and police to get certain types of training and are flying under the radar. Let us not forget the gangs like MS 13 and the cartel thugs that have had military training in their homeland and/or training from Hamas and Hezbollah associates. The Zetas are former Mexico special forces that make more money working for the cartels. Meanwhile, the borders are left open.
Then there are the thousands of Chinese that help run the port facilities in places like Long Beach Cal, both ends of the Panama Canal, the Canal itself, Ensenada, and a bunch of other nearby locations, including inland ports like Sacramento.
Actually, the ISIS associates are a distraction and merely a small but highly visible surface scratch. If anyone does not believe these groups work together to help destroy the US, that person at the very least needs to get a cup of very strong coffee, get some real world experience, and do some research.
Unfortunately, our leadership and the MSM have done their best to convince the US taxpayers to just keep working away, pay your taxes, believe what you are told, shut up, and “let us do the ‘thinin around here,’ Baba Louie!” Got that Baba Louie?

Walter Sieruk says
First, that the jihadists who compose ISIS have a strong and malice-filled “obsession” with the United States and when it comes to their Islamic scheming against America and Americans for future Islamic terror attack and they with their Quran based ideology “are not going to stop” shows the malicious demon-like zeal they have. So we need to ,not live in fear ,but still report to the police anything the seems not to look quite right. As in “What’s wrong with this picture?’ As it has been said “If you see something, say something.” The wise words of Thomas Jefferson may apply to this subject. For Mr. Jefferson declared “Let the eye of vigilance never be closed.”
Second, concerning ISIS there remains the ,very important, question “How to truly defeat ISIS once and for all ?” The answer to that question was provided in a speech by the ISIS spokesman, Abu Muhammad al Adnani, now dead, in this speech he had declared “True defeat is a loss of willpower and desire to fight…” he further explained “We would be defeated and you victorious only if you are able to remove the Quran from Muslim hearts.” All this leads to a very important question: “Is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax ?” The jihadists, as those of ISIS use many verses from the Quran as the main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders. As found in For example, 2:191.. 4:47 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4 The answer is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran. Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.” In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.

Thank you for rejoicing on the revival of Christianity in Aleppo!
I also do agree with you that Lebanon should have remained the only Arab Christian country in the ME unfortunately after the Lebanese civil war and even before the civil war close to two million Lebanese Christians immigrated to the West and to Latin America. The curse of law birthrate among the Lebanese Christians is also to blame! Right now, there are 1.5 million Christians that still remain in Lebanon and for fear of the allies of the US, Wahhabi (Saudis=ISIS) these Christians are forced to ally themselves with Hezbollah and with Shiites because unlike Sunnis Wahhabis, Shiites don’t kill, harass or attack Christians but instead consider them as brothers and now Shiites and Christians are allied in Lebanon and they together are resisting the US, Israel, Saudi Arabia and their jihadist proxies like ISIS and Al-Qaeda and other Takfiris from gaining a foothold in Lebanon and I consider that a good thing, don’t you, Don?
Don Vito, please watch the video below as thousands of Christians and Shiites unite in Beirut to praise Hezbollah for protecting Lebanon from the US allies of Saudi=ISIS and Israel and Al-Qaeda!.
Especially go mark 4:00 as the Christian singer praises Hezbollah to the cheers of thousands of Christians and Shiites:

Of course I am glad that Christians in Aleppo are back to their usual level of threat from Muslims there, and no worse.
I have long said that as bad as Assad is, that the local alternative is much, much worse.

The first problem was Lebanon foolishly in inviting in “Palestinian” Muslims in the 1970s–this resulted in the predictable Jihad against Christians there–this was not a “civil war”.
That some Christians fled in the aftermath of these horrors should not surprise.

Once again, christianblood is claiming that Christians in Lebanon are being threatened by the Israelis, but protected by Jihadists.
When Brigitte Gabriel’s mother was injured by a bomb in Lebanon when she was a child, she went to the Israelis and they provided medical care for her mother, and gave her food, a place to stay, and a job as a translator when hospital staff realized that she had no money.
*These* are the Jews that are supposed to be threatening Christians.
And–a minor point–note that christianblood is referring to “Takfiris”–something only Muslims do.

dhimmis have *always* had to laud the Muslims oppressing them–this is the case in every Muslim land–they are also pressured to smear Islam’s adversaries, like the Jews trying to survive in Israel.
At one point, she sings about kissing the feet of Hizb’allah Jihadists–as christianblood no doubt knows, kissing feet is symbol of *deep* humiliation in the Muslim world. *Ugh*.

Christians and Shiites in Lebanon are threatened by the allies of US, Saudi, Israel, Al-Qaeda and ISIS! They know what happened in Syria, Libya, Iraq and Yemen and elsewhere and they have the right to defend themselves against this allies of Evil, Don’t They Graven?
Wake up, Graven!
gravenimage says
And christianblood doubles down on claiming that Jews are a threat to Christians, but that Jihadists–his favorite ones, at any rate–are not.
And no–Hizb’allah’s long and ugly history of attacking Israel and trying to destroy her is not “defense”–it is, in fact, part of the long-running Jihad against her, exactly like that being waged by Sunni Muslims.
Sunni and Shia clash on many matters, but oppressing Christians and killing Jews is something they certainly agree on.

In the 1st place you don’t allow them to return! If they do – you arrest them, try them for war crimes and put them to death.
